The Castle is a game I created on the Sam which was on a Samco birthday disk and then appeared in Fred magazine and Sam Adventure Club. All the graphics were drawn by me. It was developed from a Spectrum text only game which I made a couple of years earlier.

Thanks for your interest in IMPostors! - I wasn’t able to release the disk images for several years because of copyright issues, which is why you might find disk images of some of my other games but not that one. But those issues have been sorted out now, so here are the disk images. As with most of the old SAM Coupe stuff it’s basically freeware now, so feel free share it with anyone you think might be interested.

I understand your site is acting as an archive of software but needs permission to publish disk files.

If you have Days of Sorcery on a disk or disk image, then please take this email as permission to publish the disk image to your site, and if you would be able to provide it to me either by email or http/ftp etc, that would be fantastic.

All of my stuff is perfectly fine to distribute here (damn, wish I’d gotten around to this sooner).

ZUB-related material: The Pickford Bros have stated publicly that they’re fine with Zub-related things being out there as fan-efforts, but reserve the right to do nasty things who try to make money off it without talking to them, so we’re good there too.

…under the condition that each disk be distributed in its original, unedited format. At the time of release in 1991, the rights to my MegaDisk #1 were signed over to SAMco, but since this company and all of its subsidiaries no longer exist, I now consider my contract with them to be null and void.

I am more than happy for my work for the SAM Coupé to be distributed freely, without charge. I would appreciate being informed when any of my software is distributed.

Many years ago I wrote a program called SamForth.
As the copyright holder I can now confirm that it is FREEWARE.
I have lost the original source disks, but the program still exists, I believe, on a SAM Supplement CD.
If anyone wants to backwards engineer it for any reason, please feel free to do so.

Megademo: Stupid Pointless Cool You could have spent all that time writing a game! Oooh, interesting, I wonder how they did that? Wow, I never knew my Sam could do that! Meh, that's not as good as Lyra III...
